The verge of artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more real each passing day. With the vast amount of scientists undertaking its development, innovations are being crafted for an assortment of field use. Government foundations pursue the task of simulating the brain and mapping it. The Obama administration is funding the BRAIN initiative that has the goal of mapping the activity of every neuron within the human brain. Also, the Human Brain Project in Europe plans to create a completely computer-based brain to test drug therapy and increase our knowledge of the mysterious organ. Machines will eventually take over jobs people have. They would autonomously harvest our crops, run our …show more content…
AI already has uses in the military, for example, a recent development in explosive weaponry involves a rocket that can fly itself and determine a target without human interaction. Without any radio transmission, radar and other detection systems will be unable to detect this type of rocket. This causes one to ponder the harsh reality that AI will be used for. These weapons do not require humans to decide who to kill. Besides military uses AI has its place in the medical office as well. Biomedical engineers attempt to create a master diagnostician robot that can critically think as well as, or possibly better, than clinical doctors. The thought of a robot deciding how to treat a patient frightens many people, however the reliability of one exceeds that of the average doctor. It seems this new form of intelligence may …show more content…
The film is recognized for its bullet-time, also known as slow-motion, effects that are created by panoramic film making. This makes time appear to move at a different rate than normal letting the viewer see bullets moving. The martial arts done inside the Matrix appear quicker, faster, and more powerful than reality would allow. By setting up multiple fast-frame cameras on a guided track, this effect is accomplished. Each camera films at the same time but from different viewpoints, allowing for a computer to integrate each of the viewpoints together. When Neo first encounters an agent on a roof he fires his entire clip at him. The agent blurrily moves out the way of every single bullet. He then fires his gun at Neo who evades nearly every bullet. The dodging scene is shown in slow-motion with bullets flying by Neo. The effect of this reinforces the main idea that the virtual reality has physical rules capable of being bent or even
